I.Installation Problems.
(all references to C: refer to the drive where windows
is installed. D: refers to your CDROM drive)
1) In the unlikely event that the setup routine fails, manual installation can
be done by the following instructions: [Remember, this is ONLY as a last
resort and should not be done until ALL other options have failed.]
1. EXIT WINDOWS
2. At the dos prompt ( C:\> ) type:
C:\> CD \
C:\> MD \WAYCOOL2
C:\> COPY D:\WAYCOOL2\*.* C:\WAYCOOL2
C:\> COPY D:\WAYCOOL2\SYSTEM\*.* C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM
C:\> COPY D:\WAYCOOL2\WAYCOOL2.INI C:\WINDOWS
C:\> COPY D:\WAYCOOL2\WAYCOOL2.HLP C:\WINDOWS
3. If your CDROM drive is not "D:" then edit the waycool2.ini and change
the line "GamesPath=D:\GAMES" replacing D: with your drive
i.e. "GamesPath=E:\GAMES"
C:\> EDIT C:\WINDOWS\WAYCOOL2.INI
4. Restart Windows and create a WayCool Too! group and icon in Progam Manager by
following the instructions below:
1. From the Program Manager menu, select File then New
2. Select Program Group option and click Ok.
3. In the Group Name type: WayCool Too! Games for Windows
4. Click Ok to create the group.
5. From the Program Manager menu, select File then New
6. Select Program Item option and click Ok.
7. In Description, type: WayCool Too!
8. In Command Line, type: C:\WayCool2\WayCool2.exe
9. In Working Directory, type: C:\WayCool2
10. Click OK to create the Icon.
2) DISK SPACE - WayCool Too! takes up less than 2 megabytes of harddisk when
installed on your computer. Actually system files required to run the
games take most of that and you may already have alot of these files
so it can take as little as 600K. During installation, Setup.exe copies
about 500K of files to a temporary directory. These files are required
to install WayCool Too! but are deleted after the setup is finished. If you
do not have the system files it can require 2.5 megabytes to install.
If you get the message that you do not have enough free space to install
Waycool Too!, move some files to a floppy or decrease the size of your swap file
until you have completed the installation then you put them back.
_________________________________________________________________________________
II. WayCool Too! colors and grahics
1) There is a known problem with the 8514 video drivers and large font
option on ATI mach8 drivers. Operation is not affected but the 3D
look of certain windows is impacted. Also the About screen
background bitmap is smaller than it should be.
_________________________________________________________________________________
III. Memory
1) Some games do not release their allocated memory after exiting the
game. If you encounter a "not enough memory", "not enough
resources" error or a game does not appear to be running properly,
exit WAYCOOL Too!, restart Windows and try again.

IV. Sample WAYCOOL2.INI file
1)
[Start]
File=c:\Waycool2\WAYCOOL2.LST
Path=C:\Waycool2 <---DO NOT END THESE WITH A BACKSLASH
GamePath=D:\games <---DO NOT END THESE WITH A BACKSLASH
[Options]
Button=All
Sound=Yes
_________________________________________________________________________________
V. Recommendations and Notes.
1) Video: For best results use 256 colors or more. Some games require
a minimum of 256 colors to run.
2) Sound: We recommend using an MPC(tm) compatible sound board.
Windows PC speaker driver will work as well.
If you have neither, Click Options/Sound so that the check
is off.
3) Mode: Should be in 386 Enhanced mode.
4) Memory: 4 MB of memory is recommend. Please note section III.
